So, what are your plans since the glorious revolution is not coming?
Get a JOB, hippie.
If the crash in 2008 didn't send U.S. into a tailspin, I don't think anything will.
According to 0bama apologists, the US died and has yet to be revived.
OWS appears to be a bust.
APPEARS?
It made a point initially, but seems to have lost steam. You have the hardcore supporters, but I don't see many joining now and the average voter seems to have tired of the spectacle.
The average voter never gave a shit in the first place.
For example, Chicago was practically a ghost town yesterday as anyone who lives or works here stayed away. You had a group of protesters marching through the city aimlessly for about five hours playing cat and mouse with cops. Really not sure what that accomplished. And I hope the cops stick to the plan not to let this escalate into a mob scene.
Maybe the Chicago Dem machine put the word out that they'll be cracking skulls.
What's Plan B? Attack if you will, but I definitely agree that change is needed. I'm just not seeing the present course working.
Get a job, you moron.
Man, the TV season is almost over, and there's NO REVOLUTION! Will Pitt, DO something! (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=707678)

--Beautiful weather and scenery
--Socialized health care and education.
--No "military industrial complex"
--Retirement pensions and Social Security will go a lot further there
What's it cost to live in Costa Rica?
Brother, if I had a dime for every time someone asked that question, I could retire! Oh! That's right, I AM retired... Anyway, I will give you the short and long answers. The short answer is "(Almost) whatever you want to pay". The long answer is a bit more involved.
The reason the short answer is really correct is that you can spend just about as much or as little as you want to live in Costa Rica. It really depends on two things: What do you want and what you need, and they ARE different. I know people here who live wonderful lives in Costa Rica on as little as $1000 per month and they are happy. They may live away from San José and in small accommodations eschewing cable TV, cultural activities, shopping, and other amenities, but they are happy.
I also know people who spend $4,000 per month (and more) and THEY are happy!
You can do either... now whether you want to or are able to is a different story. I am not going to go into every little thing you can buy here. Items like the cost to own a car, cost of utilities, or cost of education are covered elsewhere in this site.
If I were to give you and average spending for North Americans moving here, I would say the range is between $1,500 to $2,500 per month. This is what I THINK an average middle class family (maybe 1-2 kids) from the US could spend and view their lifestyle as comfortable. No kids? Less of course. My sister lives here (single) and spends about $1,300.00 per month with Internet, cable etc, small 3 BR 2 bath home. Not a lot of luxuries, but for her, it is enough.
Here are just some basics on housing, food, and a few other items as they often represent the lion's share of monthly expenses for many folks. Read on!

(This may be from 2007, so prices may have gone up a little)
The only drawback is (IIRC) Catholicism is written into CR's Constitution as the "official religion."
Um, yeah, DUmmy...go criticize the official religion in Costa Rica and let's see you get away with it. You liberals infect every place you go.

23. The revolution is happening
But you don't hear about it form the media. Thus it will take a little longer since it's the impossible. Peaceful revolutions like OWS take a little longer.
Have faith. We are no different than people all around the world starting their revolutions. We're probably still too well off in spite of not being well off.
TRANSLATION: Wait until the TV season is completely over, then we'll make a few signs.

OWS peaceful? what is this stupid moron talking about? Name one thing that OWS has done that is peaceful, you douchenozzled ass sucker.

Yep. Go to Costa Rica assuming that they will let you in and your background checks out and you have a job skill they want. Then again once you start to open your pie hole about some liberal idea you have America is going to seem like Heaven compared to a Costa Rican prison.

Costa Rica might be the most stable democracy south of the Rio Grande (a possible contender might be Panama), but I'm still not sinking my entire life's savings into a property there if the shit goes south.
Oh, and semi-seriously considered taking Scoobie there. More seriously as finances allow. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to do Hawaii.

Beat me to it! I was just going to point out that the Occupiers have NOT been peaceful in any sense. They have gotten actively violent against police, random civilians, and even each other. Countless rapes/ sexual assaults have been committed by Occupiers. The incidents on May Day reveal that they have no problem resorting to vandalism, violence, and even attempted acts of terrorism (The Cleveland Occupiers who tried to blow up a bridge).

To liberals, the OWS are a peaceful protest. But the tea party cleaning a park is a capital offense.

Remember Chan790? Here's his plan:
If I had a piece of land and it was next to Mitt Romney's piece of land and he wanted a 4' easement...I'd demand $1B and I'd tell him upfront that I was spending most of the money to destroy the things he loves in life. If I found David Koch's wallet in the street, I'd burn it rather than return it. If I was selling a product, I'd sell them for a loss before I'd ever sell one to Eric Cantor. Get in front of Rush Limbaugh's car on a single-lane no-passing-road in which runs in front of the police station...and drive as slow as legally-possible. If I had a dog, it would never crap anywhere but the best front lawns in gated communities. Actively conspire to make sure that nobody will mow Sheldon Adelson's lawn for any sum of money. Open a homeless shelter directly across the street from their children's prissy little private schools and halfway houses near their homes. Rent office space in their buildings on long-term leases then lend-use to methadone clinics, life-after-prison and social-welfare organizations thus causing the halls of their buildings to be filled with the results of their evil while driving down property values.
And TBF The Commie shows up, defensive as always. "Stop your redbaiting!" Reveals she lives in Texas.

Mostly peaceful revolutions take about 24-25 business hours.
